What can I do with too much ground and sliced almonds?

[StepAwayFromCake]

I've got about 350g ground almonds and about 150g sliced almonds. I don't think they're stale, exactly, just don't taste nice. They're well within date.

It totally goes against the grain to throw them away, so how can I use them up? Needs to be something fairly flavoursome, not marzipan.

The only thing I can think of is Bakewell Tart. Any other suggestions? Perhaps something savoury?

Not savory but my suggestion is muesli. I chuck nuts oats fruit and yogurt together at night and eat the next morning. Or any time of the day really.

Romesco sauce! I saw it on Saturday kitchen and it's a revelation.

Blend roasted red peppers from a jar with garlic, salt, pepper and enough ground almonds to make it thick.

Spoon over meat or fish and stick in the oven. There was a near fight over the last turkey steak when I made this for the kids.

Bakewell tart ?

They do go off so if they don't taste nice I wouldn't bother doing anything to them. Whatever you make will be tainted by the nuts.

Chicken korma or add to pesto

I make crumble with half ground almonds half flour and you could put the flaked almonds on top

Grain free nutty granola, granola bars, chicken tikka!

Chocolate brownies.

Chocolate cake. I make a Nigella one (I think it is a Nigella) with almonds instead of flour. It's soooooo good.

OMG the Romesco sauce sounds awesome!

I make a small amount, if the not so nice taste comes through then I will give up on them.

If they're stale, they will taste bad cooked, too. If I'm just fussy, they should taste fine cooked.

Jamie Olivers trappani sauce which is a mix of a napoli and pesto and uses ground alomomds. Basically you cook tomatoes, onion garlic and puree them adding the almonds and parmesan.

I make a take on Salsa Mojo Rojo with ground almonds rather than breadcrumbs ( its a sauce from the Canaries you put on potatoes but i use it on allsorts of stuff and for dipping.. I am a 'bung it' cook so cant tell you proper measurements ..but you are intending to have something looser than hummus).

You need a jar of red peppers (or roast 6 or 8 red peppers and skin them ,) put in blender.
add 150g ground almonds
2 crushed garlic cloves
2 tspns of smoked paprika
a big glug of extra virgin olive oil
tablespoon of red vinegar
sea salt and black pepper

Blend.. and taste, add more paprika . oil, vinegar almonds etc as liked (maybe a splash of tabasco )

( you may well need more liquid.. if using a jar of roasted red peppers i'd put some of the liquid from those in also , but so tend to a start with less liquid, if its too runny add more ground almonds

This is great as a dip with new potatoes . on fish, on bread and on loads of other things.. Its also really nice if you add in roasted tomatoes also ( youll need less liquid if you do.. ) or a dollop of sun dried tomato paste.

Sorry its not more precise .. . it does keep well in fridge if you can stop yourself eating it!)

They don't go stale so much as bitter. It's the oil in them that goes off.

Use it in pesto
Boil with milk sugar and saffron for an Indian inspired milkshake
Use it to thicken sauces
Use it to make macarons

Oh and you could just keep whizzing it in a food processor and turn it into nut butter

Make this with the ground almonds.

It's divine.

Mary Berrys cherry Bakewell cupcakes are epic. They will use up your ground almonds.

(Some of your ground almonds)

Cherry cake with 1/4 of the flour replaced with ground almonds.

crumble topping

Pineapple turkey meatball curry (bbc good food) is fab too.

Oh yes, the chocolate cake. It's called Caprese. Or add to creamy curry sauces just before serving.

BeRo Macroons. Loved making and eating these as a child.

Mary berry rich fruit cake recipe? Or nigellas lemon polenta cake (for the ground ones)

granola
I use the chow hound basic recipe and throw in whatever dried fruit/nuts I have around
